Mei Changge was deep in thought before asking.
“You can say that too.”
Zhou Yan nodded.
“No wonder you want me to join your sect.”
A smile appeared on Mei Changge’s face before he spoke again.
“I’m used to being alone, though. But…”
Hearing Mei Changge reject him again, Zhou Yan frowned slightly and a hint of helplessness flashed across his eyes. However, after hearing the word, he looked at Mei Changge.
“But?”
“I can help you, Sect Master Zhou.”
Mei Changge said with a smile. He couldn’t stay here. Moreover, from his conversation with Zhou Yan, he had some understanding of him.
Although he occasionally looked at Blood Flame Qilin with a hint of envy in his eyes, it was quickly replaced by clarity.
“You’re willing to help?”
“Green Lotus, tell me if you have any needs. I’ll fulfill them!”
Zhou Yan’s eyes lit up. He had plans to pull Mei Changge into the Beastmaster Sect.
Although Mei Changge was unwilling to join, it was not a problem for him to help.
“I need a cultivation technique of the Celestial realm and a large number of Separation Stones!”
“A cultivation technique of the Celestial realm?”
“Separation Stones?”
Zhou Yan frowned slightly. The Separation Stone was easy to obtain. The Beast Capital occupied a mineral vein of them. He could dig out as many as he wanted.
However, he only had three Celestial cultivation techniques in his possession, including the Beast Taming Technique he cultivated.
“Green Lotus, the Separation Stone is fine. But I only have three Celestial cultivation techniques. Among them are the fundamental cultivation techniques of our Beastmaster Sect. This…”
Zhou Yan looked troubled as he looked at Mei Changge.
“I don’t need the foundational cultivation technique. I’m content with the cultivation techniques of the foreign races that can reach the Celestial realm.”
Mei Changge couldn’t help but smile when he saw Zhou Yan’s expression.
He sought the Celestial cultivation techniques not for personal cultivation, but for reference purposes. As for the specifics of the cultivation technique, he remained indifferent.
Even the cultivation techniques of the foreign races could be used as a reference.
Moreover, Mei Changge was more interested in the Spirit Eye Technique. Perhaps he would add this Spirit Eye Technique when deducing the Myriad Lotus Dao Scripture.
“Okay, no problem.”
Hearing that Mei Changge did not want his fundamental technique, Zhou Yan nodded and agreed.
“These are two Celestial realm cultivation techniques. You can have them, Green Lotus.”
Zhou Yan showed a smile as he took out two cultivation techniques and handed them to Mei Changge.
“As for the Separation Stones, I’ll arrange for someone to dig them up. I’ll satisfy your request!”
“Sect Master Zhou, aren’t you afraid that I’ll run away with the cultivation techniques?”
Mei Changge looked at the two cultivation techniques in his hand and smiled. Zhou Yan trusted him quite a bit.
“Green Lotus, I know you’re not that kind of person.”
Zhou Yan waved his hand and said indifferently.
“Since you trust me, why don’t I tell you a piece of good news?”
“Oh? What is it?”
Hearing this, Zhou Yan looked puzzled.
“Fallen Phoenix City is already gone. Sect Master Zhou, you can send someone to receive it.”
“Oh? W-Wait… Fallen Phoenix City?!”
Zhou Yan’s eyes widened with surprise.
In truth, he had long devised a method to deal with the other foreign races. However, due to the peculiar circumstances in Fallen Phoenix City, he refrained from launching attacks hastily.
Now that Mei Changge suddenly told him that Fallen Phoenix City was gone, he was surprised.
“Old Ding! Old Ding!”
“Sect Master! Call me!”
Looking at the smile on Mei Changge’s face, Zhou Yan could not control his expression and hurriedly shouted out of the hall.
Ding Cheng also walked in from outside the hall.
“Go, send someone to Fallen Phoenix City. Also, inform the entire sect to prepare for battle!”
Seeing Ding Cheng enter, Zhou Yan hurriedly instructed. If Fallen Phoenix City were gone, with his preparations, the Beastmaster Sect might become the only force on this island soon.
At that time, the reward of the Sea of Heavens…
At this thought, Zhou Yan’s eyes revealed a hint of anticipation. Then, he looked at Mei Changge.
“Green Lotus, pardon me. After all, this matter is rather crucial to me.”
“It’s okay. I understand.”
Mei Changge shook his head slightly.
“Let’s go, Green Lotus. Let’s get drunk tonight!”
“Coincidentally, there are two more people I can introduce to you.”
Zhou Yan pulled Mei Changge toward the back of the hall.
Soon, under Zhou Yan’s lead, Mei Changge arrived at a pavilion. He also saw the other two people Zhou Yan had mentioned.
A man and a woman.
Moreover, they were wearing the same clothes. The word ‘Beasts’ was embroidered with gold on their chests.
“Green Lotus, allow me to introduce you to Luo Dong and Shen Hong. They’re both elders of our Beastmaster Sect!”
Zhou Yan pointed at the man and woman and introduced them to Mei Changge.
“Greetings, I’m Green Lotus.”
“Please take a seat. Did Old Zhou drag you into the Beastmaster Sect?”
The man among them, Luo Dong, said with a smile.
“Yes. When I first met Old Zhou, I thought he had some ulterior motives for me!”
Shen Hong was that woman. She looked to be about 25 or 26 years old, but her aura was also in the Immortal realm.
“The two of you… Green Lotus didn’t join our Beastmaster Sect.”
When Zhou Yan heard the two of them, he smiled and shook his head. He did not care and gestured for Mei Changge to sit down.
“Oh? Old Zhou, it seems like you weren’t sincere enough this time.”
Luo Dong said with a smile. Then, he tapped the table with his finger, and four jade bottles appeared in front of everyone.
“Let’s drink.”
A stream of spiritual energy wrapped around the jade bottles and stopped in front of everyone.
“Although Green Lotus didn’t join our Beastmaster Sect, he promised to help me.”
Zhou Yan picked up the jade bottle and said with a smile.
“Looks like Old Zhou’s wish is about to be fulfilled.”
“In my view, why bother with developing an island? I’ve heard that the Great Ming Dynasty is nearing. When it arrives, it might be wiser to join it.”
Luo Dong shook his head slightly. In his opinion, Zhou Yan’s actions were a little redundant. After all, according to the information in the Heavenly Shadow Stone, the Great Ming Dynasty would soon approach this island.
At that time, the so-called faction master would be useless against the army of the Great Ming Dynasty.
“Let’s not talk about this anymore. Old Zhou, are you planning to attack?”
Shen Hong interrupted Luo Dong and looked at Zhou Yan.
As for Mei Changge, he listened to their conversation with interest.
“That’s right. With Green Lotus around, we can attack the other three foreign races.”
“Furthermore, Green Lotus has good news for me.”
Zhou Yan nodded with a smile on his face, unaffected by Luo Dong’s words.
“What was it?”
Shen Hong asked curiously.
“Fallen Phoenix City is gone. Green Lotus told me personally.”
Zhou Yan took a sip of the Spirit Wine and smiled.
“No wonder the smile on your face never wavered!”
A trace of surprise appeared on Luo Dong’s face. Then, he looked at Mei Changge.
“There’s a foreign race hiding behind Fallen Phoenix City. I was just lucky.”
Mei Changge said with a smile.
Then, the four of them chatted for a long time. They only left when it was dark.
Under Zhou Yan’s arrangements, Mei Changge moved into a mansion.
“Interesting. It seems that this so-called faction master is not as simple as it looks.”
Mei Changge had a thoughtful expression. He could sense that Zhou Yan was hiding something. Moreover, Luo Dong and Shen Hong probably did not know what Zhou Yan was plotting.
They thought that Zhou Yan wanted to develop an island to contact the outside world.
Moreover, the Great Ming Dynasty was near this location. In essence, upon the arrival of the Great Ming Dynasty, this area would readily fall under its dominion.
As for Mei Changge, he harbored no particular attachment to this island. After all, he possessed the means to ascend the entire dynasty, rendering his interest in this island inconsequential.
Furthermore, he would return to his original world. When he first came here, he was only curious about what kind of world was behind the Five Elements Star Jade.
Now that he knew the situation here, he had to make some preparations in advance.
